Yahh it does. I was quite surprised when i crumbled my jars at birth, the mycilium even went though the whole cake, inside and out. I know that is a very newbie statement, but ohh well. On some of my cakes, the mycelium didnt grow around the whole thing untill birth. I think they might need air or something. But if your cakes are 90 % covered then you are all good to case. At least i think so...

Absolutely! They'll take up every nook and cranny they can get their little fungi-fingers on. The first time I cased, I was amazed that everything was completely overrun. When you birth 'em you're pretty safe if it's about 90% or so covered. Just don't wait too long or you can pins pushing against whatever container you use. If you birth too soon then they'll be competing with contaminants Hope this helps... Happy harvesting
